It is the season for soups and chilis, to warm your bones and your heart with some hearty, yet low fat and low calorie soups that are great accompaniments to your meal at night, and also happen to really fill your belly when you need to start feeling full! One of my favorites lately is a tomato basil soup that I make with low fat organic coconut milk instead of the heavy cream it calls for.
It’s still very flavorful and satisfying, yet it doesn’t have all the clogging dairy and fat because of the absence of the cream. You may be able to use low fat coconut milk in a variety of recipes for soups in place of milk or heavy cream, just see what’s required in the recipe first and decide whether it’s slightly sweet, nutty flavor would go right with it.
A lot of people think that coconut milk is fattening, but you can definitely buy it lowfat and it’s also got a ton of health benefits as well. It’s great for the skin, and it’s been shown to help keep some of your organs in tip top shape as well.
Some people may be allergic to it, or get gout from it, but if you aren’t, take full advantage of this wonderful food! You can also make a low fat turkey chili with black beans, just take your favorite chili recipe or mix and use low fat ground turkey instead of red meat and also use black beans instead of kidney beans for a different flavor and a better texture.
You can make multiple bean soups with chicken broth, tomatos, and chilis, that are not only good for you, but contain tons of fiber to keep you regular, they warm you up, and they also taste wonderful and fill you up much faster because they’re hot and they’re primarily liquid.
